STATEMENT OF WORK

USGS – WFRC – Marrowstone Marine Field Station Shore Armor Repair, Feasibility, Design and Permitting

I GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Introduction

The US Geological Survey – Western Fisheries Research Center’s Marrowstone Marine Field Station (WFRC-MMFS) is a USGS owned facility located on Marrowstone Island at the northern entrance to Puget Sound, where the currents from the Strait of Juan de Fuca enter from the Pacific to the west and turn south to feed the Sound itself. The station is a former US Coast Guard lighthouse, acquired in 1974. Besides the classic old lighthouse keeper's residence (a three-story house now used for office, library, conference room, kitchen, and dorm space), the station maintains a laboratory/office building, two wet laboratories with constant seawater flow, and support structures such as the pump house and shop. Approximately $4.0 million dollars was invested in construction and remodeling in the early 1990s.

B. Background; Flood Protection:

During the December 2012 king tide event experienced in the Puget Sound, the WFRC-MMFS also experienced an extreme wind and rain event simultaneously. The combination of these events led to high wave action that resulted in damage to the shore armor protection located on the northern shore of the field station vicinity.

The breached shore armor resulted in flooding of the access road and the WFRC-MMFS creating a dangerous situation with underground utilities (including electricity) covered in sea water. During the December 2012 event, USGS staff could not access the facility for more than a week. This prevented staff from carrying out their work. Additionally, experimental animals were on site and could not be cared for, technically constituting an animal welfare issue. Staff arrived on site daily to attempt to access the facility; including attempting to cross the flooded roadway, placing them in harm’s way.

Due to the breach in shoreline protection, the WFRC-MMFS continues to be in eminent danger of recurring floods whenever high tides coincide with northwesterly wind events. A second event occurred in January 2021 and re-emphasizes the need to repair the shore armor. USGS scientist and visiting scientist are housed on site in the guest quarters and are at risk of entrapment and flood hazard during a night storm as there is little to no notification of a storm event.

C. Definitions/ Applicable Documents None.

D. Scope

The consultant shall conduct field investigations, design and permitting for a limited shore armor repair project at the northwest shore at the Marrowstone Marine Station, north of the buildings.

The site is located on northeast Marrowstone Island at Fort Flagler State Park. All work will need to be conducted with the consideration that construction budget available is limited.

140G0321Q0043 P. 12 of 12

The consultant shall conduct field investigations of the northwest shore of the site to observe and document current conditions for project feasibility. The consultant shall identify and map conditions and constraints critical to project feasibility, design and permitting. Project features to document and map include, but are not limited to, shore armor extents and type, topography, nearshore vegetation, beach substrate, upland infrastructure extents and other features required for analysis and permitting. Mapped data shall be imported using appropriate datum into AutoCAD to produce existing conditions basemap and site plan. The consultant shall analyze feasibility of varying approaches to repair the existing shore armor to limit flooding and upland area erosion to the extent possible given the budget constraints. The final repair approach shall maximize benefits versus cost and include an estimate of repair longevity.

The consultant shall develop permit-level, and final construction level design packages. Design packages include a plan sheet set, cost estimate, and special provisions specifications for the selected shore armor repair design. The consultant shall prepare and coordinate the submittal of all permit applications. The consultant shall track permit applications and coordinate with agencies to acquire all needed permits. The consultant shall produce reporting needed for permit submittals. The consultant must be able to begin work within one week of notice to proceed.
